The Calder Chronicles

Welcome to the Calder Chronicles. Calder began as a character in the WonHundred Word Wednesday flash fiction. However, he wasn’t content to have just one week and kept coming back. Here his stories are gathered together and new installments will come.

What is WonHundred Word Wednesdays? It’s when a group of amazing authors and I write 100 word stories all based on the same short prompt and post them. All the variations are fun to read. This week I have continued the story from the previous weeks stories: “Forgotten,” “And Found,” and “Filler.”

Reeling, Calder struggled to move. Blast, that’d been his good stool.

“Stop it.” Despite his head ringing, he heard Sorrell struggling with their attackers. A strike, a grunt, and Calder heard no more from the boy.

A hand grabbed his collar, yanking him upright. “Who do you think you are?”

Calder snorted. “Even I have forgotten my name.”

Wrong answer. His head slammed into the dirt floor. “No one wants your aid. No one remembers you.”

Shoving himself onto his elbow, Calder willed his head clear. Why was he provoking the man? The boy? “Why the fuss over a nobody?”

Don’t forget to read the other’s takes on the prompt. More stories go up throughout the day. Be sure to check our page on Facebook for updates as everything becomes available: WonHundred Words.
